Word & WinFax Pro v10

[philb101]

A clients PC is running Word without any problem until I install WinFa
Pro, from that point when I try to open Word I get a window, "Microsof
Word for windows has encoutered a problem and needs to close etc". Whe
I remove WinFax all is ok again.
The User is running Office 2000 & Windows XP Home Edition
Thanks for any ideas or pointer

Remove the Winfax addin from the startup folder and use the following macro
to send faxes from Word.
Symantec's add-ins have been notable for their ability to screw up Word by
their very presence:

Sub FaxPrint()
Dim sCurrentPrinter As String
sCurrentPrinter = ActivePrinter
ActivePrinter = "Winfax"
Application.PrintOut FileName:=""
ActivePrinter = sCurrentPrinter
End Sub
